HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Meat Loaf says that Simon Cowell cannot judge people on talent shows. The musician says that Cowell has never been a performer.

Before you start telling somebody what to do, you have to understand the principles of stage. Simon has been really lucky to be in the right place at the right time."
